Abstract

The lack of power and prestige for many males through the disparities of social and economic locations combined with the potential for reasserting that power in the sexual arena, presents us with the opportunity to look at the relationship between perceived male powerlessness and male pornography use. This thesis intends to test the research hypothesis that men with greater feelings of perceived powerlessness are more likely to view X-rated movies than those men with lesser feelings of perceived powerlessness.
